Food Bank: Weekly Message from Lynda Delf - This week, a parishioner gave me £10.00 and 6kg of food; this will provide meals for 5 people.
An astonishing £166.00 was raised at the Harvest Tea from the sale of preserves and fresh produce; thank you so much. The foodbank van will collect all Harvest Thanksgiving food donated in Church as well as the contributions from the school's Harvest Festival on 5th October. I will have a grand total next week.
This week, our shortages include long-life fruit juice, jam, rice, coffee, tinned potatoes, tomatoes, fish, and meat. We always need household cleaning materials, personal toiletries and toilet rolls. Your generosity is incredible and so much appreciated.
